Application note
Using an ST7ULTRALITE microcontroller
to drive a TRIAC or an AC switch for a Mains supply

Introduction
This document describes how to design a light dimmer or motor speed control device using
an ST7ULTRALITE microcontroller as a driver for a TRIAC or AC switch on the mains
supply. This electronic equipment is typically used in home appliances or in industrial
applications for a variety of purposes such as motor regulation in washing machines,
vacuum cleaner control, light dimming in a lamp, heating in a coffee machine, or motor
regulation in a ventilator.
The STEVAL-ILL004V2 evaluation board illustrates ST’s solution for these kinds of
applications. This design is mainly based on the solution presented in Application Note
AN2263: Universal motor speed control and light dimmer with TRIAC and ST7LITE
microcontroller which provides a complete design description for the STEVAL-ILL004V1
evaluation board.
The main difference between these two evaluation boards is the microcontroller; the
STEVAL-ILL004V2 uses the smaller 8-pin ST7ULTRALITE microcontroller while the
STEVAL-ILL004V1 uses a 16-pin ST7FLITE09 microcontroller.
This document presents only new and important information concerning the STEVAL-
ILL004V2 evaluation board in order to get quickly started with evaluation. Application Note
AN2263 can be used as a reference for complete design solution and provides examples of
capacitive power supply circuit design calculation, TRIAC power dissipation calculation,
recommended TRIAC summary, ZCD (zero crossing detection) resistor calculation and
gate-limiting resistor calculation.

AN2425 Basic principle

1 Basic principle

Control techniques for monophase motors, light dimmers or any AC load are based on
phase-angle adjusting. The block schematic of this principle is shown in Figure 1. The
TRIAC is turned ON by the control signal coming from the microcontroller with a given delay
after the zero crossing, and is automatically turned OFF when its current reaches a zero
value. It is the same for positive and negative voltages. The total power delivered to the
LOAD depends on the time, when the TRIAC is turned ON.
The “heart” of this application is the small, 8-pin ST7ULTRALITE microcontroller. The
synchronization used to switch ON the TRIAC at the same time for each of the cycles is
provided by zero crossing detection (ZCD). The MCU detects the zero crossing after each
period of the input signal and sets the time to switch on the TRIAC in relation to the value of
the voltage on the potentiometer or button. Due to the low power consumption, the
evaluation board includes a low-cost capacitive power supply. As the TRIAC produces a
noise when it is turned “ON” or “OFF,” an input EMI filter is connected on the board.

Figure 1. STEVAL-ILL004V2 board block schematic

Warning: The MCU is directly linked to the mains voltage supply. No

insulation is ensured between the accessible parts and the
high voltage. The STEVAL-ILL004V2 evaluation board must
be used with care and only by persons qualified for working
with electricity at mains voltage levels. Certain precautions
have to be taken during emulation to avoid damaging
development tools.

2 Universal motor speed control

The STEVAL-ILL004V2 evaluation board shows STMicroelectronics’ solution for driving a

universal motor or any other AC load using a small, 8-pin microcontroller. The left side of the
board includes two connectors; one is the mains connector for the input voltage supplied to
the board and the other is the connector for the universal motor. Due to the universality of
the board, the load can be controlled either by a button or a potentiometer. The way it is
controlled is selected by Switch S2 (“Button” or “Potentiometer”) before the input voltage is
connected. The button should not be used to control the motor speed, but only for adjusting
the brightness of the light bulb when the lamp is connected as the load (light dimmer
application). The potentiometer stands by on the board to control the speed of the motor.
The tables on the board show how to connect the jumpers for the input EMI filter for the
motor speed control and light dimmer.
The maximum power range of the evaluation board depends on the TRIAC and the size of
its heatsink. For example, the board shown on page 1 was tested with a 1600W AC vacuum
cleaner motor. For high power (higher than approximately 350W), it is necessary to use the
heatsink on the TRIAC due to the power dissipation. The STEVAL-ILL004V2 evaluation
board includes a TRIAC with an assembled heatsink for the maximum output power
(approximately 1000W).
The application is independent of the input frequency because there is software frequency
detection, and so 50 or 60Hz can be selected without any problems. The input voltage can
be from 110 up to 240V AC with an ACST76S TRIAC connected on the board. If a BTB16
TRIAC is used in the application with the input voltage 110V, the capacitor C4 = 330nF must
be replaced by C4 = 470nF in order to have enough energy to turn ON the TRIAC because
the supply voltage is delivered from a capacitive source and depends on the input voltage.

2.1 Application schematic

Figure 2 shows the application schematic diagram of the universal motor speed control.
Appendix A lists the bill of materials for this application. Components L1, C9, C8 and R9 are
not used for the motor speed control (jumpers J1 and J2 are connected and jumper J3 is
disconnected).
Due to the universality of the evaluation board, the EMI filter (C7, L1, and C9) is designed as
a CLC connection (p-element) to reduce the noise coming from the board to the mains. For
motor control applications, it is enough to use only an input capacitor (for example, C7 =
470nF) to guarantee the requested specifications. Section 4: EMC testing describes EMC
issues.
STMicroelectronics offers a family of TRIACs (snubberless TRIACs), with an integrated
snubber, and so it is not necessary to use external components as overvoltage protection. If
the standard TRIAC is used, the snubber circuit (C8 and R9) should be assembled to
prevent the TRIAC from spurious turn-on.
The power supply circuit (R6, R7, R10, C4, ZD1, D1 and C5) is developed to supply the
microcontroller. If both neutral and phase lines are available on the board, the maximum
output current with the input voltage of 230V is 11.08mA. The total consumption of the
microcontroller is approximately 3.26mA and consumption of the application is 3.97mA
(measured value) and so 11.08mA is really enough to supply the MCU. If the microcontroller
is in Halt mode, its consumption is only 6.09µA.

4/21
AN2425 Universal motor speed control

The Zero Cross Detector (ZCD) is realized by R1, R2, and C2 and the signal is connected to
the PA2 port of the microcontroller. A new software implementation can be easily done on
the board, due to the ICC connector used to program the microcontroller. As stated above,
Switch S2 selects the control method (button or potentiometer).
The TRIAC is driven by high-current capability port PA4 of the microcontroller with maximum
current up to 20mA. If there is not enough power to switch ON the TRIAC, Jumper J5 can be
connected to two ports in parallel configuration. In this case, the maximum current capability
is 25mA. Jumper J4 must be disconnected in order to use the reset pin as the output. This
action must be also supported by software modification, because the reset pin must be set
as the output (port A3). To configure this pin as output, write 55h to MUXCRO and AAh to
MUXCR1 registers. For more information, please refer to the ST7ULTRALITE datasheet.
Note: The STEVAL-ILL004V2 demonstrates both the light dimmer and motor speed control. It
means the potentiometer and button is used. If one type of solution is requested, only the
potentiometer or button can be used and therefore the next two high-sink ports of the
microcontroller can be available (Switch S2 is also not used). It can increase current
capability up to 60mA.

3 Light dimmer

The STEVAL-ILL004V2 evaluation board is also used for light dimmer applications. This
solution is based on the same design principle as the motor speed control; meaning that all
information provided in Section 2: Universal motor speed control is also valid for light
dimmers.
In regards to lighting specifications, a different type of input filter is selected compared with
the motor speed control. A CLC filter (C7 = 470nF, C9 = 100nF and L1 = 0.1mH) is used.
In order to control the light (typical of dimmer applications), the use of Switch S2 must be
taken into account when designing the application to enable certain features such as
decreasing or increasing lamp brightness. If the switch is pressed twice quickly (between 0
and 40ms), nothing happens. If pressed between 40ms and 240ms, it means turn “ON” or
“OFF” device. If the lamp is turned “OFF”, the brightness level is stored in the memory of the
microcontroller. When pressed for longer than 240ms, the brightness “automatically”
increases until it reaches its maximum value at which point the brightness starts decreasing
and so on.

3.1 2-load configuration

In many lighting applications, the phase and neutral lines are not both available. A general
example is the switch on the wall, where very often only the phase is connected as shown in
Figure 3 - part 2. The lamp is connected in series with the evaluation board and the
microcontroller is supplied from the voltage on the TRIAC when the TRIAC is turned “OFF”.
So if the TRIAC is turned “ON” for a long time during half of the signal period, there is not
enough time (voltage) to save the energy and the device will not work. This limitation means
that it is not possible to switch “ON” the TRIAC for 100%. Using the power supply designed
in this application, the maximum time for opening the TRIAC is approximately 80%
(Figure 4). This value was measured using a 500W halogen lamp connected in series with
the evaluation board.
Caution: If the load is connected in series with the evaluation board, the input filter must not
be assembled (especially the input capacitors) because the input capacitors can
produce a large di/dt on the TRIAC when the device is turned “ON” that may damage
the TRIAC.
If the lamp is directly connected to the evaluation board (Figure 3 - part 1), the capacitive
power supply is able to provide enough energy for the microcontroller because the phase
and neutral lines are both available. In this case, the time for opening the TRIAC is unlimited,
but, for example, it makes no sense to design software for more than 95% because there is
almost no brightness difference between 95 and 100%.
Due to the universality of the evaluation board (motor speed control, lamp available on the
board or lamp in series with the board), the software is designed to limit opening time for
TRIAC at 80% in order to guarantee correct functioning for a lamp in series with the
evaluation board. Of course, there is no problem to change this limit for applications where
both the phase and neutral lines are available.

4 EMC testing

Light dimmer applications are tested for compliance with EN55015 and motor speed control
applications with EN55014-1 and EN61000-3-2 class A specifications.
● EN55015 specifications describe the limits and methods of measurement of radio
disturbance characteristics for electrical lighting and similar equipment.
● EN55014-1 specifications describe electromagnetic compatibility - requirements for
household appliances, electric tools, and similar devices - part 1: emission.
● EN61000-3-2 specifications describe the limits for harmonic current emissions
(equipment input current up to and including 16A per phase).
For more information, please refer to Application Note AN2263: Universal motor speed
control and light dimmer with TRIAC and ST7LITE microcontroller.
The evaluation board was tested for compliance with these three specifications. Note that for
any other design of these applications (light dimmer, motor control, etc.), the results will not
be the same and the tests must therefore be repeated.
In conclusion, only a certification laboratory can provide and approve the compliance with
specifications for the products to be sold on the market.

Warning: The MCU is directly linked to the mains voltage supply. No

insulation is ensured between the accessible parts and the
high voltage. The STEVAL-ILL004V2 evaluation board must
be used with care and only by persons qualified for working
with electricity at mains voltage levels. Certain precautions
have to be taken during emulation to avoid damaging
development tools.

4.1 EN 55015 for the light dimmer

In order to guarantee these specifications, a CLC input filter is selected. The value of the
filtering capacitors is C7 = 470nF and C9 = 100nF (~275V AC X2) and the inductor L1 has
the value of 0.1µH. A 150W bulb load is connected on the board, which means the phase
and neutral lines are available for the power supply circuit. As the output power can be
regulated by the switching time of the TRIAC, there are many states for testing, but the only
the worst case (the highest noise) is measured. This happens if the TRIAC is turned ON in
the maximum voltage of the sinusoidal waveform. Measuring the peak value shows that its
real waveform is under the requested limit, proving that this type of EMI filter is suitable for
light dimmer applications (Figure 5).

AN2425 EMC testing

Figure 5. Peak measurement for the light dimmer

4.2 EN 61000-3-2 class A for light dimmer

Phase-controlled dimmers up to 1kW do not need to be tested for harmonic current
emissions because harmonic current limits are not specified in this specification for
independent dimmers for incandescent lamps with a rated power less than or equal to 1kW.
The STEVAL-ILL004V2 evaluation board includes a heatsink and is designed to deliver an
output power up to 1kW and therefore does not require testing.

4.3 EN 55014 for motor speed control

Only one input capacitor (C7 = 470nF) connected in parallel is able to obtain real measured
waveforms below their limits, which means it is possible to guarantee compliance with these
specifications using just this type of filter. In any case, when the AC motor is used as a load,
the serial inductor is not needed in the application.
For testing purposes, a load of 1600W from a vacuum cleaner motor was used. The motor
was connected to the board, so the both the phase and neutral lines were available for the
power supply circuit. As stated above, the output power can be regulated by the switching
time of the TRIAC. There are many states for testing, but the measurement is provided only
for the worst case (the highest noise). This happens when the TRIAC is turned ON in the
maximum voltage of the sinusoidal waveform. As above, two measurements are requested
in these specifications. One is a quasi peak value and the second one is an average value.
Both real waveforms are below the requested limits, which mean this type of EMI filter is
suitable for an AC motor (Figure 6 and Figure 7).

4.4 EN 61000-3-2 class A for motor speed control

The STEVAL-ILL004V2 evaluation board is almost the same as the STEVAL-ILL004V1; the
only difference is the microcontroller. The EN61000-3-2 was already tested on the STEVAL-
ILL004V1 and is described in Application Note AN2263: Universal motor speed control and
light dimmer with TRIAC and ST7LITE microcontroller.
Therefore it was not tested to fulfill specification requirements for the STEVAL-ILL004V2.
Generally the input capacitor C7 = 470nF is used on the board in order to guarantee
compliance with these specifications.

12/21
AN2425 Software

5 Software

The software is written in C language, structured, and well-commented. It contains several

modules, but the main functions necessary for the proper operation of the evaluation board
reside in the following:
● Main.c
● Ports.c
● Pwm_ar_timer_12bit.c
● Lite_timer_8bit.c
● Adc_8bit.c
Note: The overall code is less than 1KB so that it will fit the ST7 ULTRALITE memory.
The working principle of using the TRIAC to drive either the incandescent lamp or one-
phase AC motor is to switch ON the TRIAC at the exact time in both half-periods of the sine
wave. The TRIAC is closed automatically upon zero crossing detection. The minimum and
maximum opening time for the TRIAC is set as a constant value inside the software and it
can be easily modified in order to guarantee the required power range for various
applications.
The main idea of the software is to synchronize the internal timer inside the ST7
ULTRALITE microcontroller using the Zero Crossing (ZC) events of the mains sinusoidal
waveform. The voltage from the mains is applied on Pin PA2 which is set up as an input
interrupt in a pull-up configuration. In the case of an internal counter that is not synchronized
with the ZC event, the user may have difficulty with the performance of the following
interrupts:
1. Interrupt from the input pin
2. Interrupt from the timer (e.g. overflow interrupt)
Note: This can influence driver stability if in one period the TRIAC is switched ON at a different
time compared to the second one.
The 12-bit Auto-reload Timer (AT timer) is used in Output Compare (OC) mode. The AT
timer is over-flowed on address FFFh to the value set in the Auto-reload register (ATR, in
this configuration, 000h).
At each ZC synchronized (sync) event interval (Figure 8), the DCR register is filled by the
actual counter state from CNTR and the value corresponding to the 0.2ms interval (640 hrs).
From that time, the ZC is synchronized on the mains. After that, an OC interrupt occurs
every 0.2ms where DCR = DCR + the value corresponding to the 0.2ms interval (640 hrs).
Each OC interrupt is incremented in the software counter (Figure 9).
The main advantage of this design is that the CNTR register is readable at any time and the
new value can be written immediately to the DCR register without any delay. The 0.2ms
interval is the smallest step required for firing the TRIAC.
The TRIAC is fired from PA4 pin, which can source the gate up to 20mA (max.). If the
application requires more power (e.g. for a bigger TRIAC), change the RESET pin to output
push-pull and use a jumper add it to PA4. To do this, modify the source code in the lib.h
module to uncomment “#define RESETOUT” line and compile it again. This changes the
port configuration and certain constants used for firing the TRIAC. The Watchdog is used in
a hardware configuration set up using the option byte.

5.1 Main.c module

After the MCU is turned ON, all active peripherals (e.g., ports, LITE Timer, and 12-bit Auto-
reload), the ADC and Watchdog refresh (WDG) are set up in the “Main” program in this
module. After this, all of the variables are set up and the MCU will enter Wait For Interrupt
(WFI) mode. This leads to minimum power consumption because the program is performed
only in interrupts (from ZC and the OC timer) as shown in Figure 10.

5.2 Ports.c module

All timers are switched OFF until the first ZC event occurs. This interrupt is handled in the
ports.c module using the PORTS_0_Interrupt routine (Figure 11) which checks the Port A
pin 2 (PA2) on the falling edge. This pin is set up as the input interrupt that is in pull-up
configuration. After catching the first interrupt, the AT timer is switched ON and the DRC is
loaded with the 0.2ms value for the compare interrupt.
The timer is then synchronized with the ZC event. The ZC window is set up for 50Hz and the
interrupt routine finishes. From this point, the AR_TIMER_OC_Interrupt routine is performed
every 0.2ms (Figure 12).
After the 50/60Hz mains has been ON for a time period (approximately 20 to 16.7ms), the
second ZC interrupt occurs. At this point, the interval between ZC events is measured and,
based on this value, the corresponding flags are set (50 or 60Hz). If this event does not fit
either the 50 or 60Hz parameters, all of the timer flags and the counter are re-initialized for
another synchronization attempt. The ZC window interval is ±1.2ms. At the end of this
interval, a new ZC event is set up.
After a successful synchronization phase, the next ZC event is monitored during the
following ZC interrupt and monitored to see if the ZC interval passes synchronization
parameters, or if the timer needs to be synchronized again.
The new value used to fire the TRIAC (via the 'Read from' button or potentiometer) is also
measured here.
If the ZC interval is missed the first time, the program continues with the synchronization
values measured from the previous ZC interrupt. If the next ZC interval is missed again, the
microcontroller is reset by the WDG.

5.3 Pwm_ar_timer_12bit.c module

The AT timer in OC mode is used as the main time counter. This interrupt is handled in the
AR_TIMER_OC_Interrupt routine in the pwm_ar_timer_12bit.c module. This routine
generates the 0.2ms time base used for push-button handling, TRIAC firing, WDG refresh,
and software counter incrementing (Figure 12). The button checking and handling routine
checks the state of the button driving pin every 0.2ms.
